Patented in Germany July 30, 1886, No. 38,184; in Eng. land November l2, 1886, No. 14,679; in Belgium December 6, 1886, No. 75,492; in Austria-Hungary March 28, 1887, No. 48,097 and No, 11,144; in Sweden April 27, 1887, No. 1,029; in Denmark October 29, 1887, No. 370, and in France December 2, 1887, No, 180,044.

To rz/ZZ whom it may concern.'

Beit known that I, JULIE S'rEINHAGE-N, a citizen of Germany, residing at Boltenhagen, Mecklenburg, in the Empire of Germany, have invented an Improvement in Curtain-Fixby the employment of projecting hooks arranged on a bar or hollow tube, which, when the bar or tube is turned, pass through the material, and thus secure the curtains in their position.

1n the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front view of the bar with curtains attached, partly in section, and part of the lambrequin removed. Fig. 2 is a crosssection of the same at line c no, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a top view of one end of the same. Figs. 4 and 5 are end views in different positions.

B is a rod or bar turning in bearings a., at-

tached to a board, A. At the end of the axle i At the back of the board A eyes e are atf tached to pass over the projecting' parts of hooks e, fastened to the frame or wall to support the iiXture.

The rod B is provided with a number of bent hooks, D, the ends oi' which enter recesses or cavities in the board A when the rod B is turned, and has secured thereto the curtain. (See Figs. 2 and 4.) Then the curtains are to be attached, the board is taken off the hooks e and laid on a fiat surface and the end of the lever b turned upward, whereby the rod B will be turned so as to bring the hooks D in an upward position.

The ends ofthe curtains are then passed between the board A and rod B, and if any lambrequins are to be attached the same are passed from the outside of the rod B over the saine and between the curtains and the board A. (See Fig. 5.) The lever l) is then turned downward, whereby the ends of the hooks D will pass through the material of the curtain and lambrequins, thus securing the same to the rod B. The lever ZJ will pass over a projection or over the head of the bolt d to hold the rod B and hooks D in this position. The whole nxt-ure, with the curtain attached, is then placed upon the lined hooks e. The projecting ends of these hooks e are made prefferably of suilieien t length to receive and secure at the saine time the cornices E of the windows.

That I claim is-- The combination of a trame and bearings u. carried thereby with the rod ll, turning in said bearings, the projecting hooks D on the outer face of said rod, and the lever b, attached to said rod for turning it, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof 1 have signed my name to this specification in the presence oi' two subscribing witnesses.
